Singularity - a short story

 Singularity (Fiction 101 Series)

The crew was halfway through the blackhole. Streaks of light swirled and flashed past them like their memories of home. The gravity sheers were real when they first approached the event horizon. But they had to protect each other and protect the mission – at all costs. Their last radio transmission to Earth was filled with a singular focus – their respective families, who wouldn’t receive it within their lifetime. But the message wasn’t for them – it was for their descendants. How many generations was unknown. How many other descendants was unknown. But the message was clear, “Protect the crew. At all costs.”
